I was a big themer of Swype betas on the G1 running CM 5.0.8, and I was just wondering if there would be any interest in seeing some themes ported to the beautiful screens we have here
just a thought. if I had a little support and incentive, I would be more than happy to start cranking some out.
that being said, I haven't tried to theme this version of Swype yet, so I don't know if there are hurdles to overcome

Yes please
I for one would love to see this.
OP if you would like I can add a poll to the thread just PM me if you do.
Any way you could put the spacebar in the bottom center while in landscape mode? That would be... awesome.
this would b awesome. I wonder if you can theme it to look like l the htc ime keyboard

It sounds interesting, but honestly not something I would pay(or donate) for.

With my previous experience with Swype, this cannot be done. Swype operates by using a word detection algorithm working over static images... So the location for the spacebar is actually buried in the source code, and Swype doesn't even like us sharing the beta releases from non-preloaded devices. In short, no

I have all the files still from my previous work, which includes these versions:
-HTC IME Theme
-MyTouch Slide's "Black Glass" Theme
-HTC IME Color variants: Dark Red, Purple, Black Steel (Black&Grey theme), and bits and pieces of other color variations I tried and didn't like on the G1 I had at the time
-Naked theme, has no dividing lines or color on the background, displaying white characters. I have an inkling that this might save on some battery life
-I also have remnants of theme requests I made. I was working with another themer, so he had half of the themes, and I had the other half.

All I was saying is that if I had to put more work into Galaxy Swype themeing as I did beta Swype themeing, it would be nice to be compensated. I am by no means selling my services, but I have limited time lol Time=$
Anyways, I will get started on this project in a couple hours
the black glass theme on swype from the MT3GS would look amazing on our vibrants. i for one am looking forward to this. a quick question for you though, is it possible to apply the themes to the swype keyboard without the vibrant being rooted. i was trying to hold off from rroting until 2.2 releases

The only way to move these themes to this version of Swype is to metamorph w/ root. Seeing as how the distribution we are using now is device dependent, there might be hurdles to overcome as far as just installing the apk. Now, since we are now using the device that this version of swype came with, I might be able to get permission to distribute the apk amongst fellow galaxy s users from the company itself, since it is made to run only on this line of phones.
If I can get that permission, and we can get it to install straightaway without a hitch, then yes it's possible without root.
And honestly, the root process is so easy on the Galaxy/our Vibrants, that I didn't see any reason not to do it. The G1 was such a tough device for me to get the hang of and root.
I will most likely use the metamorph theme style, since that is the most viable and executeable option available currently. I have been in contact with Swype's community relations rep for the past few months, and they said one of their main priorities now that they have recognition and a few contracts, is to implement themeing. this could come to the devices that are preloaded with Swype to begin with, when they get the 2.2 updates from their carriers. But, that is purely speculation.

Why not root? I've rooted and flashed tons of different crap. This phone is unbrickable. Not only this, all it takes is an Odin flash in download mode and your back to 100% stock. Not to mention, rooting the Vibrant is terribly easy.
I would like to see a green or red version of the current blue theme.

That sure would be nice but alas... not true. Speaking of chief_reloaded, has anyone seen him (not literally of course) around here? It seems like everyone has just left the MTS without a simple goodbye. I remember eugene & htclay bidding farwell but it seems like other devs have just left the stage quietly. May be development is halted somewhat because of the MIA 2.2 ota? Any theories?

Well, Im still here (KingKlick quote kang lol), Im still around and I still troll the threads, but ur right... It is partially because of the missing update for froyo... I thought about what ppl would want in a ROM on the slide and I honestly couldnt come up with an answer... I mean, were running an arm6 device... Meaning ports and such are only possible of things everyones seen before... Legend, Hero, Aria, etc... I dont wanna put out the same old stuff unless ppl actually want that stuff... I did that kinda work on the G1 and MyTouch but it seems those roms are outdated tbh... With CM6 available, I see no reason to do a ROM from source (2.2) cuz thats obviously what CM6 is... So im in the dark for new ideas... If someone wants to start a request thread on ROMs they would like to see be my guest... I will watch it and work on such but i think we have covered all the options already untill we get an espresso 2.2 OTA or another arm6 device gets a sense froyo update... Let me know if ppl have requests... Im nt doin much but would love to put something out ppl want... CR
So I decided to start the thread myself and just C n P the post from the other lol... Im so lazy Anyways.... Give me some ideas of stuff you would like to see while we wait for this vaporware 2.2 OTA we were promised... Im outta ideas tbh and this device seems dead... CR
Reserved for list of ideas and requests throughout the thread so we don't have the same things mentioned over and over....
Its not a rom cuz I'm happy with cm6 but I really want rw access but have been too busy to look at it.

Funny that you created this thread because I was kinda thinking it...
The only Three things that I personally would find very useful are:
a CM6 Rom that had the Market app w/o a T-Mobile button (I want the download button), and with a fully functional keyboard Lights/LED status indicator
A nice Dark theme that was comparable to the Stock OTA ROM (I liked SenseUI), Maybe something like the xRom themes from the 'old' days
And, the third which you are unable to fulfill, is the 2.2 update for the Stock Sense ROM
Besides that.... just like you said, your only finding another way to skin a cat..
Thanks for your time and efforts on the MTS
I would have to agree with that.
My vision 2.2 froyo with rosie.apk with livewallpaper enabled and viewable without aftermarket launcher (aka adw, launcher pro, etc...) sense widgets stock framework.apk (possible ability to customize within system settings "not sure if can or not") id like to keep the dps manager I like the ability to adjust the sound. Complete working keyboard and leds. OC, stagefright enabled. Opera Mini as the standard browser, gapps, and working wifi tether (ad-hoc and usb). Market with download button and I think that would about cover it

So once this 2.2 ota gets leaked for the slide then we.can get full root including enlocking the bootloader.
I am loving my slide but man it gets old not having new stuff too do to it. Guess the g1 got me sPoiled .
1 request could you find out why dumfuqs 844 oc kernel is not working on all phones

I like the eye candy of SenseUI, but prefer the stock mail apps (both GMail and Exchange). It would be nice if we had the ability to use either or both. Other than that, I'm not entirely certain what to ask for.
I have noticed that using your 1.35 OTA ROM, I cannot update Google Maps from the Market. If I do that, Maps won't run. IT FC's and won't execute. I'm not sure what's causing that...
I would like a port of any 2.2 sense rom if there were any mdpi devices with froyo sense. Not too worried about keyboard lights as I hardly use the hardware keyboard anymore
But I figure the g2 is what everyone will move to when its released later this month.
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
Are there any touchwiz devices that are mdpi? That would be a nice port rom
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
It's kind of nice you made this thread. Ever since G2, most of the people on this board are going to move on. Makes me sad.
This is not a request, or it could be. I hear it's not possible, but I'm not sure and I don't know why it would be?
Everything Espresso, much like your CM_Rom which is pretty much stock, but with additional parts from CM6 and torch, and the ability to change certain features while everything is retained Espresso. That's my perfect rom. Vanilla is nice, but that is so G1. I love it, but Espresso is pretty cool.
I just switched to the darkside and bought the epic 4g. Killer phone and I am getting better service in my area with sprint.

Stock "Starred in Android" Functionality
I really miss the stock functionality that lets you star Google contacts as "starred in android" then limit the contacts display to only those contacts. Alternatively, some way to sync those starred Google contacts as faves would work also.

Can you deodex the rom?
And how about fixes freezes/reboots from this?

It really bugs me when people say the slide is dead. Go look at the Aria's forum, see how many ROMs and mods they have. It seems kind of ungrateful to Chiefz, Cyan, Biff, Eugene, Dumfuq, and even r0man after all the work they've done for us, for you guys to say our device is dead.
Anyway, I'd love a more functional Aria port.
More themes would be nice, and I'll start doing those myself.
the aria /legend ports are sweet but a more complete pot would be filled with badassery :3

They've all been sayin' it's dead. Who do you think the original poster of this thread is you mentioned?
Some guides or links to some good ones on porting perhaps?
I dont' know to be honest theres not much of a point in seeign diff roms if all that's diff is the apps dir and a theme
I swear that I can remember there being a host of Metamorph themes that will morph SenseUI with dark Rosies and different types of batteries (yes, I know there are lots of circle battery flashes) and things.
I scum through the Hero themes and apps, and can't find much.
I scum thorugh the Eris themes and apps, and SWEAR I can remember more, months ago.
I am I confused? I feel like SOMEONE would have/did make a blue battery/highlight color flash, or a different Android guy when a no-picture-stored contact/caller is on the line, or a graphite/black battery, or clear notification bars.
I see that there are LOT of cyanogenmod themes, and that's super. But although I see an awesome orange xtrSense theme there, I am lost on where all the metamorph themes I remember seeing, went to.
I feel stupid almost, since I've been around computers for years, and spent LOTS of time on forums, and even helping people, and rooting friends' phones, etc etc etc.
I swore I remember seeing a HTC hero theme repository thread with like 100 different little themes and metamorphs. I can't even find that (assuming any of those would work).
Am I crazy? Confused? (feel free to slap sense into me if so)
Where are all the SenseUI metamorph themes? Do I need to try to learn how to make some?
Yessir
I've been wondering this too, I remember before I rooted seeing a picture of an Eris with a black rosie and all the grey turned black. Heck that was half the reason I rooted, but I never have found it lol. guess I got side tracked.
I've been thinking of trying to make some Themes for punk.kaos's froyo sense when it gets stable. I've figured out a little about theming android, (I'm still not that good and have never themed sense, so dont expect much.)
I'd LOVE to have a white and blue sense theme though, that'd be on point.
I have only made two themes for the eris. One I posted on here the other is not done, so I guess that technically 1 1/2 but who's counting, and I can tell you it is more tideous work then actual challenge. The reason for lack of themes is probably just a demand thing. Most people that have the eris have had it for awhile. So they either already have it how they like it or have moved onto another device. I think it would be great for those of us with the eris to help out with theming and developing. With all the hard work the developers put in to the roms the least us as the end user can do is make some themes for others to use and give a variety of option for roms to look. </rant>
I think that may come off harsher then it was meant to when I was typing this. Anyway, if you or anybody else on here needs help making themes, I would be more than happy to help in anyway I can just message me on here I check this place probably 50 times a day. I would love to help some people get on the theming bus and help make some new themes for us to choose from.

I dont think thats harsh at all, its just plain fair.
the handfull of devs here work so hard bringing us roms we never would dream of seeing on our phone, the least we can do -if we are able- is contribute a little time to editing some pictures. it makes all our phones have that many more options. course...lifes not fair
I would love to learn. Where do you suggest I start? I've already taken pieces from several different themes to make what I want. I would like to see a nice sense ui theme. It can be done, shadowrom has a theme that is as close to sense that I've seen yet. They got about everything but HTC Widgets and the real htc launcher. However the themer made an HTC launcher dock background and some blank icons that when using launcher pro is very nice because your icons don't show up on the dock like they normally would. What would it take to incorporate the real launcher into a theme?

good stuff man, looks good
Just curious why it seems like there is no love towards RezRom? Im running 1.6 and there is literally not one single post about any mod what so ever for it. In my opinion Rez is about the smoothest and fast gb rom out there. Ive themed what i can myself but am not a pro at it. I would put up what i have but i dont feel its worthy compared to what other people do for theming on other mods.
Probably since bored has already themed the device and added pretty much every mod possible.
im talking about notification bar icons and things like that. I got the icons no problem, but when i try to do the date, etc., the clock goes back to white, when i change the clock, the date goes back to white. Not hating on it at all, but cleanrom has tons of mods where they have different status bar dropdowns, dialers, etc. But no one seems even remotely interested in Rez. I think it really is one of the best and def. props to bored, he is amazing with his work. Just wished more people showed love towards it.
I feel what you're saying man. People probably don't theme it since I assume altering a theme can be a pain in the butt. Not too sure about that since I know jack S about theming.
I theme quite a bit. Heck I used to theme all day. I have at least 6 full themes for sense 3.0. I know I did a full bravo theme for the rezound for gb, including a separate skin to go with it. I haven't had time to look at the framework for ICS yet so porting will take time.
You have to also keep in mind that I, along with several others came from the Thunderbolt. The framework or png's were completely different sizes on sense 3.0. When we all moved over to the Rezound, we realized we pretty much needed to redo a years worth of theming and upgrade all of our work to sense 3.5 png's.
I spent days trying to update one theme to sense 3.5 only to find out ICS came out a short while later. So, now all my work has to be matched up then ported over again to ICS which hasn't been done yet.
The big thing for some of the big themers here on the Rezound are skins. Simply because we make profit on the market. I barely have another skin to roll out for sense 3.5 gb and that took several weeks to complete. I plan on rolling out at least 5 more before I even begin to start theming for ICS. Unless ICS rolls out to the rezound sooner, I wouldn't count on a lot of themes for it.
I'm on ICS as I'm writing this but about all I'm going to put out for ICS are dialers.

Theming will pick up once a official ota is out bc no one want to theme something and then rebase when we get a leak ... At least that's why I'm not theming right now lol

FYI some stuff like dialers and other system apps will work on pretty much all the ROMS since they are all based on the same ICS leak
anything that changes the framework or systemUI is most likely ROM specific. you can however port images from one rom to another manually....if you have the time
You can go to the UOT Kitchen and easily do some light theming on your own. It's kind of fun!
I was already doing my own light theming like status bar icons. I just flashed to Rez 2.1 and am in the works of teaching myself more advanced theming to hopefully throw some out here on xda.
